However, the Germans also discovered this, meaning that it would be a race to actually complete the weapon. The U.S. knew it needed to act fast and so three facilities were created for the development of the weapon in Washington, New Mexico, and Tennessee.

The first reason ROVs are not valuable is, they cost too much. While critics might argue that, that information is accurate.
The submarine saw themselves as scouting outriders in the early stages of combat and in hurly-burly of decisive surface battle, as underwater attack vessel dealing death and dismay to enemy. Despite a succession of improved submarine models, American designer were unable to bring into existence a boat that could travel with the surface fleet for greater distance at necessary avg. speed of 17 knots. As a result, they were relegated to coastal defense of USA mainland, Hawaii, Panama, and the
